DR. LUCIANA ON AGING AND FALLING, a TV pilot by host/actor/writer/director/CSUN psychology professor Luciana Lagana (aka Dr. Luciana) received a total of three Silver Medal awards at the 2015 Global Independent Film Awards, for Best Web Series, Best Documentary, and Best (Dis)ability Film. Dr. Luciana co-wrote and co-produced this pilot with Del Weston, the show’s director. He is the creator of the Action on Film International Film Festival and TV shows that have aired on SPIKE TV, NBC and ESPN.
“Among other subjects, I teach gerontology at CSUN and am happy to see that the topic of falling in older age is finally being recognized in the film industry. It is important to do our very best to prevent older adults’ falls, because they can have very negative consequences on physical as well as psychosocial health,” shared Dr. Luciana.
(from the festival’s website): "The Global Independent Film Awards is an online awards competition dedicated to recognizing filmmakers and actors for high quality work. We recognize how difficult it is to make an exceptional film, and want to reward filmmakers for achieving success in different aspects of the filmmaking process. We receive all of our submissions online. They are then judged, and winners determined."
